Outer membrane vesicles secreted by Bacteroides fragilis inhibit CFTR chloride secretion by human colon organoids [PDF]

Infection and Immunity
The goals of this study were to develop a model to study host-pathogen interactions in primary human colon organoids and to test the hypothesis that Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT-2) secreted in outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) modulates mucosal immunity ...

Purification and Characterization of His-Tagged Recombinant Bacteroides fragilis Toxin-2 Variants In Vitro and In Vivo [PDF]

Toxins
Bacteroides fragilis is a major commensal bacterium of the human colon. However, enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) secretes B. fragilis toxin (BFT), a zinc-dependent metalloprotease that cleaves E-cadherin and promotes chronic inflammation and ...

PROTEIN REQUIREMENT FOR INITIAL REARING PHASE OF PACIFIC WHITE SHRIMP IN A BIOFLOC SYSTEM

Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2021
This study evaluated the protein requirement of Litopenaeus vannamei post-larvae during the initial rearing phase in a biofloc system. Five different diets were evaluated with increasing concentrations of crude protein: 31.28, 36.29, 41.57, 46.34, and 51.

Integrative Analysis of Blood Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Reveals Molecular Regulation of Backfat Thickness in Qinchuan Cattle

Animals, 2023
A crucial goal of reducing backfat thickness (BFT) is to indirectly improve feed conversion efficiency. This phenotype has been reported in certain papers; however, the molecular mechanism has yet to be fully revealed.
